What the Little Girl Wants
Tell me, why'd you stay
'Cause you were always just slightly out of the picture anyway
I know you lied
But I've been carrying it around, believing it all this time
And I've tried to compromise myself to make you love me
So, maybe you wouldn't want to leave
And I've tried to pull one on myself and take responsibility
For everything that happened to me
But I was just a child who just wanted to be loved for being me
And I just wanted to be held once in awhile lovingly
It seems like I always find you
Different names and faces, but all the same shit you do
But I just want more
Than to be someone's savior, mother, wife, and whore
And I've tried to compromise myself to make them love me
So, maybe they wouldn't want to leave
And I've tried to pull one on myself and take responsibility
For everything that happens around me
But now I'm a woman who still needs to be loved for being me
And I still need to be held once in awhile lovingly
You know I've always loved you
Despite all the imperfect things that you do
So, tell me, do you love me
Even though I'm not who you thought I should be
